Disclaimer: I was offered a copy of this activity pack in exchange for a review. However, all opinions are my own.
There are 6 countries introduced in the pack: Brazil, France, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Philippines and Sweden.
It is very attractive and filled with beautiful yet simple illustrations. The activities are appropriate for children from 2 years old up. And they certainly can help making the recipes!
The instructions and descriptions are very clear. You don’t really need to see the final product to know what it will look or taste like! And it was nice to see the variety of activities: from printable DIYs, to crosswords and a review of what you’ve learned at the end.
And, of course, I liked Christmas vocabulary from few different countries are introduced: even if the children never study those languages, the words will remain somewhere in their memory and make their multicultural and multilingual experience much more interesting! We don’t really celebrate Christmas but as a part of cultural exposure this is a great resource for families like ours or for ESL students who don’t have the first hand experience with Christmas.
I highly recommend this activity pack if you are looking to introduce your children or students to the ways Christmas is celebrated in 6 different countries through basic information about these countries, traditions, activities and recipes. It could be a great family project for Christmas holidays, too!
